Comment on Show HN: Career Finder – A quiz that gives you career recommendations

Comments

I feel like an idiot whenever I take things like these. I never have a straightforward answer for anything. I always think: "I want to like doing [x] but I am bad at it so I guess I should choose like...but what if they mean would I choose doing that over something I am good at? In that case it should be a dislike, or maybe. Shit! I don't know!"

or when given this one:

A sick person has some difficulty walking and needs to go up a flight of stairs. You help them do so.

"I think that would make me feel good to help someone, so I'll choose like. Although is that what I would want to do for a job? If so then I would definitely dislike that job. I guess I would maybe like to help someone up the stairs."

Gahh!

it sounds frustrating to answer these questions with "should's" in your mind. it's more straight forward and ultimately satisfying to go with what your gut/heart/self really wants. i'm not saying that is simple to figure out, just more worthwhile and pleasant.
